I have a experience in working with individuals who have experienced trauma in their lives.Trauma is the experience(s) that people have endured that feel horrific, distressful and impacting the victim where they suffer physical or psychological harm.But trauma is more complex than that.It can be from any form of abuse, accidents, childhood divorce, violence in schools, bullying, parents with addictions, relinquishment issues from adoption, illness/surgeries and many more.I also have a passion for working with people who experience Shame; that feeling that you are "Not Enough" ~not good enough, lovable enough, smart enough, worthy enough...You fill in your "not enough" judgment.Shame is a survival technique.I also work with individuals with grief and loss, whether a beloved human or pet relationship.

With my background as both a special education teacher and college and career counselor, I really enjoy helping clients explore their identity, increase self-confidence and autonomy, and overcome fears or whatever else is blocking them from living well. As a therapist, I specialize in working with neurodivergent client as well as those who are experiencing OCD and anxiety-related disorders. I tailor treatment to my clients’ individual needs and create a warm, supportive environment in sessions where they can truly be themselves without judgement.
